There's a single mother working Trying hard to make ends meet She's got two boys and another on the way And it's a cold and crowded winter In a West Virginia shack And she cries Lord, Lord, when are you coming back. Old man down by the river With a bottle in his hand It's as empty as the pockets in his clothes And he's drifting off to somewhere Walking down the railroad track Singin' Lord, Lord, when are you coming back. Chorus: Is it gonna be Monday Is it gonna be Tuesday, Lord Is it gonna be mornin', nighttime or noon I know it's gonna be one day Sooner or later, yea But the way it's been lately I hope it's gonna be soon. It's getting loose around the edges But I know you're gonna take up the slack Lord, Lord, when are you coming back. Chorus: Is it gonna be Monday Is it gonna be Tuesday, Lord Is it gonna be mornin', nighttime or noon I know it's gonna be one day Sooner or later, yea But the way it's been lately I hope it's gonna be soon. I've been reading the local paper I've been watching the nightly news Yea, this ole world's just rippin' at the seams And with a past, dark and brooding And a future looking black It's got me thinkin' Lord, Lord when are you coming back Lord, Lord when are you coming back Lord, Lord when are you coming back. Chorus: Is it gonna be Monday Is it gonna be Tuesday, Lord Is it gonna be mornin', nighttime or noon I know it's gonna be one day Sooner or later, yea But the way it's been lately I hope it's gonna be soon...
